We’ve confirmed we are bringing an all-electric F-150 to market. Now, we’re showing you the capability you asked for by having it tow more than 1 million pounds.* This is Built Ford Tough.
*The F-150 battery-electric prototype is towing far beyond any production truck’s published capacity in a one-time short event demonstration. Never tow beyond a vehicle’s towing capacities. Always consult the Owner’s Manual.
What is the maximum weight that the all-electric F-150 prototype can tow?
The Ford Motor Company recently revealed an all-electric prototype of their F-150 truck which has the ability to tow over a million pounds. With its impressive capabilities, the all-electric F-150 prototype sets the stage for the future of electric vehicles.
This prototype is a significant step forward for the F-150 series that has been the best-selling truck in the United States for more than four decades. It has been designed to provide exceptional performance while producing zero emissions. The all-electric F-150 is powered by twin electric motors and a high-capacity battery pack. This combination produces a generous amount of horsepower and torque, allowing it to tow heavy loads with ease.
During a demonstration at a test facility in Michigan, the all-electric F-150 prototype proved its towing prowess by hauling 10 double-decker railcars loaded with 42 F-150s, weighing over a million pounds. This is an impressive feat that surpasses the previous record held by a diesel F-150 that towed a 1.3 million-pound train in 2018.
Apart from its ability to tow massive loads, the all-electric F-150 prototype boasts exceptional acceleration and driving dynamics, providing a new level of power and performance for the F-150 series. This is a significant achievement for Ford as they plan to enter the growing market for electric vehicles.
By introducing a fully electric F-150, Ford is addressing the growing concerns about climate change and air pollution. This all-electric F-150 is more environmentally friendly than its gasoline or diesel-powered counterparts, emitting zero emissions. With its efficient electric motor and the capability to tow, it’s a perfect choice for commercial or heavy-duty fleet use.
In addition to its environmental advantages, the all-electric F-150 is expected to offer cost savings over its gasoline or diesel-powered counterparts. With fewer moving parts, its maintenance requirements are expected to be lower, resulting in lower overall operating costs.
The all-electric F-150 prototype is a remarkable achievement for Ford, providing a glimpse into the future of electric vehicles. It has the potential to revolutionize the truck industry, as it offers outstanding towing capabilities and sets an example for electric vehicle manufacturers worldwide. The number of electric vehicles on the road is expected to grow rapidly in the near future, and Ford is well-positioned to take full advantage of this trend with this new all-electric F-150 prototype.
